If you want a stylish round dining table, but think the Tulip table has been done to death, you might want to save up  a little more and go for the Platner Round dining table.

Originally designed by Warren Platner back in 1966 but still available via Knoll, the dining table features a vertical steel rod frame in nickel or bronze finish, with a bevel-edged glass top to finish things off.

Prices start at £1,680 – and the matching chairs are obviously extra. If that’s a bit much, smaller versions are available as coffee and side tables.

A recent design with looks firmly set in the late 60s – the Established & Sons space age Drift Bench.

Designed by Amanda Levete, the Drift Bench is made of high-gloss polyurethane and a fluid/eye-catching shape that should seat three or four people comfortably.

You can pick it up in white, black, orange or luminous orange – although none of them come cheap. Prices start at a whopping £7,873.

If you’re looking for a 1950s vibe for your home, these Graham and Green 50s-style Instrument cushions could fit the bill without breaking the bank.

Take your pick from three colours (black, grey or red), all made of cotton with a plain backing and featuring those 1950s-style designs and indeed (as the name suggests), a 1950s view of musical instruments.

All are sized at 45 x 45cm and priced at £25 each.
